Jarius Byrd was an all pro FS his rookie season in 09. TJ Ward had a 123 tackles his rookie season in 2010. Walter Thurmond is a starting nickle backer CB for seattle (beset by injury). Patrick Chung is the reigning starter for the Pats at FS. Byrd was a pro-bowler. ALL drafted since 2009.

It is impressive considering all of those guys had no stars when they were recruited.

Oregon's problem is not that they don't have a good defense. Their defense is actually pretty good. It is just that Chip Kelley can't seem to understand that when you constantly run hurry up against a great team, and you get stopped, you put your own defense in a bind.
